Spec Logistics Center Planned in Central Florida

Red Rock Developments, Westport Capital Partners LLC and Wharton Industrial plan to develop Florida Crossroads Logistics Center, a 617,046-square-foot spec distribution center in the Central Florida city of Ocala. The facility will sit on 46-acres of land at NW 35th St. in an industrial corridor off I-75 and US-27.

The location is key as it allows for same-day distribution to nearly the entire state of Florida – one hour from Orlando and Tampa, two hours from Jacksonville and four hours from Miami.

Westport Capital Partners’ Russel Bernard says, “We believe the site is well positioned to benefit from the growing demand for regional distribution assets in the Southeast.”

The facility, which is expected to be open by the fourth quarter of 2019, is being listed for lease as a spec building by Colliers International’s Deborah Mickler and David Wilson.
